Boreman. He was admitted to the Bar in 1843, and soon after located in Parkersburg, (West) Virginia, where he lived for the rest of his life. He was elected to the Virginia Legislature from Wood County in 1855 and served until 1861.

He was reelected to that office twice, serving as Governor from 1863 to 1869.

In 1875, he retired from government duties and reestablished a successful law practice in Parkersburg. Without his solicitation, however, he was once again elected Judge of the Parkersburg district he had served from 1861 to 1863, serving again from 1889-1896. He remained in that position until his death.","Personal and business papers of a lawyer, U.S. senator, circuit court judge, and first governor of West Virginia, Arthur I. Boreman.

The memoir begins with Mugler's birth in Alsace-Lorraine in 1838, and covers his immigration to the United States; enlistment in the United States Army in 1851; military duty in New York, Boston, Rhode Island, Texas, California, and the Washington Territory where he participated in the expedition against the Yakima Indians as a member of Company B, Third Regiment, United States Artillery, under Phil Sheridan; and his return to Orange County, Virginia, where following the passage of the Secession Ordinance he enlisted in the Thirteenth Virginia Infantry serving as chief musician. The memoir concludes with Mugler's military career during 1861-1862. The diary covers the remainder of his military service, 1862-1864, and his confinement as a war prisoner at Elmira, New York, 1864-1865. Following the war, Mugler returned to Washington, D.C., and eventually gained employment with the National Cemetery Corps, working at various Virginia battlefields. While in Virginia he served as a delegate to the Virginia Republican Convention of 1867. He worked at the National Cemetery at Grafton and for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, eventually becoming superintendent of painters on the Road Division in West Virginia. After 1874 he worked briefly as a self-employed painter, and then opened a paint and hardware store in Grafton which he managed until the end of his life. Subjects include the Battle of Mine Run, the retreat from Antietam, the Battle of the Wilderness, prison life at Elmira, New York; reconstruction in Virginia; railroading and the railroad towns of Keyser, Oakland (Maryland), Parkersburg, Fairmont, and Wheeling; the strikes of 1877; interviews with Generals Ord and Sheridan; the Murphy Temperance Movement and W.C.T.U. activities; the Liberal Republican movement of 1872; the Greenback Party; the Chicago World's Fair of 1893; political figures such as John S.

Mason (1842-1917) was a prominent lawyer and Republican party member in the northern part of West Virginia from the early 1870s until his death. He had been a soldier in the Union army and after the war attended Monongalia Academy. He read law under Judge Marshall Hagans of Morgantown and was admitted to the bar in 1867. He practiced law in Grafton from 1867 to 1889. During this time he was made Chairman of the Republican State Executive Committee and served four years until 1876. He ran for the House of Representatives in 1882 and was defeated by William L. Wilson by ten votes. He tried for Judge of the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia six years after but lost. The highlight of his life was his appointment as Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service by President Benjamin Harrison. At the end of his term of office, he returned to West Virginia and moved to Fairmont. He continued to practice law until he was elected Judge of the Circuit Court of Monongalia, Harrison, and Marion Counties in 1900. After he left Washington, he repeatedly attempted to secure another appointment in Washington but was unsuccessful. He retired from the bench in 1912 and was appointed Chairman of the West Virginia Debt Commission the following year. He served until the fall of 1915 when he was appointed to a vacant seat in the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia. He stepped down in January of 1917 and died later that spring.","37, 1888, 3820","Correspondence, legal papers, photographs, and printed materials of John W. Mason (1842-1917).

Some of the names of Morgan ancestors are Elijah Morgan, Elizabeth Morgan, H.M. Morgan, H.D. McGeorge, N.H. McGeorge, and John R. Morgan. Photographs are largely of the Mathers family, but there are a few of the 175th anniversary of Monongalia County, and the dedication of a monument to Col. Zackquill Morgan, ancestor of Mathers and founder of Morgantown. The newspaper clippings cover personal mentions of Max Mathers and his family as well as local history articles, local events, and the family's involvement in the search for missing soldiers after the Korean conflict. The scrapbook was put together by Eugene L. Mathers, Max Mathers' father, and documents Monongalia County events, 1838-1951. In addition, there is a collection of greeting cards covering the first half of the 20th century and a collection of broadsides going back to the 1850s.","label":"Abstract Or Scope"}},"breadcrumbs":{"id":"https://search.arvasarchive.org/catalog/wvmturhc_repositories_2_resources_365#breadcrumbs","type":"document_value","attributes":{"value":{"id":"wvmturhc_repositories_2_resources_365","ead_ssi":"wvmturhc_repositories_2_resources_365","_root_":"wvmturhc_repositories_2_resources_365","_nest_parent_":"wvmturhc_repositories_2_resources_365","ead_source_url_ssi":"data/oai/WVU/repositories_2_resources_365.xml","aspace_url_ssi":"https://archives.lib.wvu.edu/ark:/99999/194980","title_ssm":["Max Mathers Collection Papers"],"title_tesim":["Max Mathers Collection Papers"],"unitdate_ssm":["1821-1957"],"unitdate_inclusive_ssm":["1821-1957"],"normalized_date_ssm":["1821/1957"],"normalized_title_ssm":["Max Mathers Collection Papers, 1821/1957"],"text":["Max Mathers Collection Papers, 1821/1957","A\u0026M 2386","Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","/repositories/2/resources/365","Monongalia County (W.

Some of the names of Morgan ancestors are Elijah Morgan, Elizabeth Morgan, H.M. Morgan, H.D. McGeorge, N.H. McGeorge, and John R. Morgan. Photographs are largely of the Mathers family, but there are a few of the 175th anniversary of Monongalia County, and the dedication of a monument to Col. Zackquill Morgan, ancestor of Mathers and founder of Morgantown. The newspaper clippings cover personal mentions of Max Mathers and his family as well as local history articles, local events, and the family's involvement in the search for missing soldiers after the Korean conflict. The scrapbook was put together by Eugene L. Mathers, Max Mathers' father, and documents Monongalia County events, 1838-1951.

He served in the Union Army during the American Civil War, practiced law in the Territory of New Mexico in 1864, and was a member of the Territorial House of Representatives from 1864 to 1865.  From 1866 to 1870, Elkins was first the district attorney, then attorney general, and then U.S. district attorney for the Territory.  Around 1890, he moved to the town that he founded, Elkins, WV.  President Benjamin Harrison appointed him Secretary of War from 1891 to 1893.  Elkins died in Washington, D.C., during his third term in the U.S. Senate.","Born in Perry County, Ohio, in 1841, Elkins attended public schools in Westport, Missouri, and graduated in 1860 from the University of Missouri-Columbia, where he studied law.  He then became a school teacher in Harrisonville, Missouri.  Among his pupils there was Cole Younger—future Confederate guerrilla and outlaw in the James-Younger Gang.  According to accounts provided by both men, Younger later rescued Elkins from execution by Confederate guerrillas during the Civil War.  More than 30 years later, Elkins was instrumental in securing parole for Younger, who received a life sentence when convicted of bank robbery.","After enlisting in the Union Army, Elkins served as a captain in the Kansas Militia until 1863.  In 1864, he began to practice law in Mesilla, New Mexico, after being admitted to the bar in the Territory of New Mexico.  He then served in the Territorial House of Representatives from 1864 to 1865.  Elkins also was the district attorney (1866–1867), attorney general (1867), and then U.S. district attorney (1867–1870) for the Territory.  In 1872, Elkins was elected to Congress as a Republican representative for the Territory of New Mexico, and served in the Forty-third and Forty-fourth Congresses (March 4, 1873–March 3, 1877); he was not a candidate for re-nomination in 1876.","In 1866, Elkins married Sarah Simms Jacobs.  She died prior to Elkins' election to Congress, and was survived by two daughters, Elizabeth and Sallie.  In 1875, Elkins married Hallie Davis, daughter of Senator Henry Gassaway Davis of West Virginia.  Elkins partnered with Davis in developing natural resources industries in West Virginia, and in 1878, Elkins became a West Virginia citizen.  Around 1890, Elkins and his family moved to the town that he founded, Elkins, WV.  Together with Davis, Elkins formed the West Virginia Central and Pittsburg Railway, which had main lines emanating from Elkins, WV, and he was associated with the Davis Coal and Coke Company, one of the largest coal companies in existence.","After being elected executive chairman of the National Republican Committee in 1884, Elkins gave his first political speech in West Virginia on February 29, 1888, in Wheeling.  President Benjamin Harrison appointed Elkins Secretary of War, and he served from December 17, 1891 to March 5, 1893.  Elected as a Republican to the U.S. Senate, Elkins served from March 4, 1895, until his death on January 4, 1911.  He was chairman of the Committee on the Geological Survey (Fifty-sixth and Fifty-ninth Congresses) and member of the Committee on Interstate Commerce (Fifty-seventh through Sixty-first Congresses).  Elkins was interred in Maplewood Cemetery, Elkins, WV.","Sources:","Clarke, Alan R. The West Virginia Central and Pittsburg Railway: a Western Maryland Predecessor.

He served in the Union Army during the American Civil War, practiced law in the Territory of New Mexico in 1864, and was a member of the Territorial House of Representatives from 1864 to 1865.  From 1866 to 1870, Elkins was first the district attorney, then attorney general, and then U.S. district attorney for the Territory.  Around 1890, he moved to the town that he founded, Elkins, WV.  President Benjamin Harrison appointed him Secretary of War from 1891 to 1893.  Elkins died in Washington, D.C., during his third term in the U.S. Senate.","Born in Perry County, Ohio, in 1841, Elkins attended public schools in Westport, Missouri, and graduated in 1860 from the University of Missouri-Columbia, where he studied law.  He then became a school teacher in Harrisonville, Missouri.  Among his pupils there was Cole Younger—future Confederate guerrilla and outlaw in the James-Younger Gang.  According to accounts provided by both men, Younger later rescued Elkins from execution by Confederate guerrillas during the Civil War.  More than 30 years later, Elkins was instrumental in securing parole for Younger, who received a life sentence when convicted of bank robbery.","After enlisting in the Union Army, Elkins served as a captain in the Kansas Militia until 1863.  In 1864, he began to practice law in Mesilla, New Mexico, after being admitted to the bar in the Territory of New Mexico.  He then served in the Territorial House of Representatives from 1864 to 1865.  Elkins also was the district attorney (1866–1867), attorney general (1867), and then U.S. district attorney (1867–1870) for the Territory.  In 1872, Elkins was elected to Congress as a Republican representative for the Territory of New Mexico, and served in the Forty-third and Forty-fourth Congresses (March 4, 1873–March 3, 1877); he was not a candidate for re-nomination in 1876.","In 1866, Elkins married Sarah Simms Jacobs.  She died prior to Elkins' election to Congress, and was survived by two daughters, Elizabeth and Sallie.  In 1875, Elkins married Hallie Davis, daughter of Senator Henry Gassaway Davis of West Virginia.  Elkins partnered with Davis in developing natural resources industries in West Virginia, and in 1878, Elkins became a West Virginia citizen.  Around 1890, Elkins and his family moved to the town that he founded, Elkins, WV.  Together with Davis, Elkins formed the West Virginia Central and Pittsburg Railway, which had main lines emanating from Elkins, WV, and he was associated with the Davis Coal and Coke Company, one of the largest coal companies in existence.","After being elected executive chairman of the National Republican Committee in 1884, Elkins gave his first political speech in West Virginia on February 29, 1888, in Wheeling.  President Benjamin Harrison appointed Elkins Secretary of War, and he served from December 17, 1891 to March 5, 1893.  Elected as a Republican to the U.S. Senate, Elkins served from March 4, 1895, until his death on January 4, 1911.  He was chairman of the Committee on the Geological Survey (Fifty-sixth and Fifty-ninth Congresses) and member of the Committee on Interstate Commerce (Fifty-seventh through Sixty-first Congresses).
